University of West Bohemia, Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art, Department of Fine Arts

The Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies of Art, Design and Advanced Technologies was founded as a part of the Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art in 2020. Its establishment was a strategic step aimed at strengthening the faculty’s long-term professional profile and promoting its focus on interdisciplinary studies. Students learn to seek beauty in and around ourselves. The topics we focus on and have completed in the past include: Source/Rebirth, The Beginning, I Had a Dream, Breath, Harmony, Mystery, Amulet, Less Is More, A Stone Jewel, Symbol, Chain/Chaining, Geometry/Reflections on Ladislav Sutnar, Light/Shadow, Beauty in and around Us, Relationship, To Be a Part of Something. Students, even when creating a small jewel, are aware that even this small object has its purpose, meaning, record, message – content that includes expediency, but can also reach beyond it.
